Extreme leftist

Absolutely horrendous lawyer. Find someone else. She’s an extreme leftist who is obnoxious and makes her insane views very apparent and awkward..

Great for the price

I used Shannon and had a felony. She brought me down to a misdemeanor. Denton County was not working with me and on my side. Shannon used skills to let me be a free citizen and able to vote. She does not charge a lot at all. I forgot what I had paid. It was totally worth it. She works with you and yo...u can make payments. You can still make payments after the court case if you did not come playing. Jewish woman are the most respected. Pick Shannon. She will make your case disappear or fight to get your voice heard. It took some years, but she did it. I am forever in your debt Shannon. Nothing, but love to you. If anyone says anything bad about Shannon. You all have something against woman. Shannon stays busy and will return your calls when she finish court. Not too sure if Sandy a Edwards she still is her assistant. Sandy is very knowledgeable and delay messages. Power to women lawyers. You are doing great Sandy. Most of my court case I didn't even go. Sandy stood in for me as I moved to Georgia. Stop the negative reviews. Have some patience and shr will work with you about prices. I didn't pay her enough.

Great attorney!

Shannon and her staff have been great at helping me with any questions or concerns I have had. They have always returned any phone calls I have had in a timely matter and put my mind to ease on several occasions. I would highly recommend her to anyone with legal issues needing a attorney.

Ran off with money

Although they had fired her (contact AMS) I was not given another lawyer to take over my case and found a better lawyer elsewhere. They had originally failed to appear at my first court apperance and when I contacted them why, they stated it was not a free consultationand it cost 250$ first even thou...gh i went in person and paid first payment at my first consultation. Case was eventually resolved but poorly. I had to ask with another lawyer who fought for me based on poor representation. Did not come to my last court apperances. My new layer submitted a form to change lawyer on the case and she ended up leaving away with the rest of my payment anyway plus the remaining balance. I didnt mind but the remaining balance? Really? They were so hard to contact in the begining because they dont call back when they say they will. I am just in shock and upset at my experience here. That should have been a red flag when they didnt call me back the first time, and a second red flag when they were rude to me the second time about the call back when my case was urgent and i waited a week for them to call back. Then a third red flag when they failed to appear until i paid 250$ consultation fee. Lost 7,000 to her when i should have walked out losing 2300 instead. (First payment plus 250$consult)

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
